    You guys questioning me try following the thread from the beginning. First you have an OP who starts the thread with a picture of Trump even though Trump has nothing to do with the subject itself. Then he uses post #2 to skirt around the 4 paragraph too hot rule and post #2 gets deleted after I called attention to it. Meanwhile the usuals pile on. Then a poster thinks because I called out the OP for breaking the 4 paragraph rule I do not see the dentist as an ass hole? Where did that come from? Then the OP follows suit with the one who questioned me. Then even though I don't owe anybody any explanation I explain that I do agree 100% the dentist is a jerk. Not that I ever said or even hinted he wasn't. I asked what is threadworthy about some small time dentist in a local paper. Oh never mind just follow the thread this thread started out being a joke and keeps getting worse. I know, I know I once joked about how I would like to punch out Nancy Pelosi...... What the F does that have to do with every argument in every thread I am winning? I'll admit there was once a thread where a post was made about women punching out and I made the comment there are a couple of women in DC I'd like to punch out followed by "Are you listening Nancy Pelosi". You guys bring that up in discussion after discussion when you get behind. I'm laughing at ya.

    Gonna stop reading here. This is false. Trump is very much a part of this story as the dentist committed his crimes in the name of Trump. But we knew you didn't read the article, since it's "local news." This, of course, was made evident in the thread that you chastised people for not following closely enough.

    Do you seriously think the OP had reason to put Trumps picture in the original post? Just try to follow it. Someone already brought up having a thread deleted because the first post did not have an original comment......I too don't think "More unhinged behavior from the usuals." qualifies as an original comment.

    This thread was not locked as there was no violation of the rule. Though the comment in the OP was minimal, it was there at the bottom of the OP.
    Other than predictable objections to this particular thread and it's topic, why were there no similar objections over the brief, scant comments in the following threads as there were in this one?

    Yes but trump was in no way involved - just some racist kook invoking his name. Didn’t warrant having his photo alongside the kook. I’m going to agree with 51 on that part of it.

    Go straight to Dictator Biden. He said he wanted to punch Trump in the face. His way to do it is lawfare that has never before existed in the US.

    Though Trump was the reason for the dentist's offensive posts, I tend to agree posting Trump's picture was not necessary to support the OP.

    If I had known posting Trump’s picture would’ve gotten you this worked up, I would’ve put his name in the thread title too

    Your 'fist bump, thanks' award to my post of the video does not support your contention Biden "said he wanted to punch Trump in the face." Did you watch the video clip? Biden said if they were in high school he "would have taken Trump behind the gym and beaten the hell out of him."

    Biden saying would have beaten the hell out of Trump in high school is not the same thing as saying he wanted to punch Trump in the face." You should remove the 'fist bump' rating. I was not agreeing with you.

    No. What you posted was so much better. Thank you.----------Biden is a repeat offender. I don't know if I could find the clip, but the one I watched had Biden saying he wanted to punch Trump in the face. Google sensors so much I'm surprised you found that gold nugget. Thank you, just know how much I thank you.

    Nobody is accusing Trump of direct involvement. This episode, however, is a symptom of Trump's dangerous rhetoric and the maga ideology. We can agree to disagree, but I see no issue with the photo.

    For those questioning the Trump photo, just Google "Richard Glenn Kantwill." There are multiple shots of him alongside Trumph.

    For underscoring your factual inaccuracy? Well, you're welcome I suppose.

    I found this article with short video clip from the Daily Mail while searching google. Apparently not censored. Again it does not support your contention Biden said "he wanted to punch Trump in the face."

    Biden says Trump deserves a PUNCH and mocks his hair before having a battle with the teleprompter by reading: 'Four more years. Pause' | Daily Mail Online

    "President Joe Biden took the gloves off Wednesday by saying former President Donald Trump deserved to be punched and injected bleach into his hair - while engaging in his own battle with the teleprompter.

    "Biden addressed the North America's Building Trades Unions conference in Washington, D.C. on the heels of winning the union's endorsement in the 2024 presidential race.

    "He teased the crowd about what all he could accomplish if given 'four more years,' though read out loud the teleprompter's direction to 'pause,' creating an awkward moment of silence before the audience delivered a 'four more years' chant."

    "Biden said Wednesday that Trump 'looks down on us.' 'Think about the guys you grew up with who you would like to get into the corner and just give them a straight left,' Biden said. 'I'm not suggesting we hit the president. But we all knew guys like that growing up' "

    Thanks again. Biden is at least a 3peat offender. What I was recalling goes back to a clip during the 2020 election.

    This just proves from top down the hypocrisy of democrats who hold themselves out as somehow better than republican MAGA and the conservative people who support it.

    Worse than Biden's lawfare against Trump, if someone assassinated Trump, it could be the violent rhetoric whether spoken in jest or not of the POTUS that is the driving force.

    I bring up assassination as the democrats are desperate and will do anything to hold power. Every time Trump takes the stage at his rallies, I worry about a looney shooter getting in with the crowd.

    EDIT:

    One more I want to emphasize without extending this thread which fortunately has died down. Chuck Schumer threatened two SCOTUS justices in March 2020:

    Schumer accused of threatening Kavanaugh and Gorsuch during rally (youtube.com)

    The threat is right up front and it's CNN.

    After Roe V. Wade was struck down, I'm 100% certain I can find many more like this across the democratic party spectrum from POTUS down.

    Would this be considered a racially charged threat ? I guess the white dude had it coming for centuries of slavery and oppression …
